Meghan McCain, the political scion who has won public fame as a blogger, commentator and TV-show host, will join Fox News Channel as a contributor, Variety has learned.
A spokesperson for the network confirmed the hire. McCain is expected to contribute to the network’s primetime and daytime programming.
McCain, the oldest daughter of U.S. Senator John McCain, a Republican, joins as Fox News Channel, like other news outlets, heads into a frenzied pre-season for the 2016 election for U.S. president. Already, more than a dozen different candidates for the Republican nomination have thrown their hat into the ring.
McCain, who has identified as a Republican in the past, could well offer the viewpoint of a different member of that political party: one hailing from the millennial generation. She has in the past championed gay rights and come out against anti-immigration legislation, and has publicly challenged commentators like Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham. In her writings she’s expressed ambivalence about Sarah Palin, the former Fox News contributor who ran for U.S. vice president alongside her father, and admiration for Hillary Clinton, who is now vying for the Democratic nomination for U.S. president.
McCain most recently was a host for “TakePart Live,” a talk show on cable’s Pivot network that urged viewers to get involved with various social causes. She was also the focus of “Raising McCain,” a Pivot talk show that took her on the road. Both were cancelled.
McCain has written a campaign memoir, “Dirty Sexy Politics,” as well as “America, You Sexy Bitch: A Love Letter to Freedom,” a collaboration with comedian Michael Ian Black. She has also contributed to the Daily Beast and interned at Newsweek magazine. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Columbia University.
Bring out the wide-angle lense.
she must be taking the Alan Colmes position as resident liberal idiot
MSNBC’s Martin Bashir suggested that Republican senators need to have a member of their families killed for them to support the Democrats’ gun proposals. “Let’s start with Meghan McCain!,” quipped Ann Coulter.
Triple face palm.
Yep. Been watching less and less. Usually have F&F on in the morning while I’m still snoozing. Turned if off this morning. Would rather listen to the fan. Might still tune in to the 5 occassionally, and maybe Special Report, but honestly, anymore I’d rather watch baseball and play my guitar.
Somebody please say this is satire. Plllleeeezzze!!!
What makes you think my comment was directed at you and not any and all others who might read this thread?
They're apparently trying to catch up with MSNBC.
I don’t even know what she looks like (not that I care) but is she really an obesesaurus?
Great. Now I’m DEFINITELY going to stop watching Fox..
++++
Hold on now. Maybe she will replace Juan or Geraldo on The Five.
Could she be worse?
Hmmm. Maybe you have a point.
kack me with a spoon fer sure!
Perfect! LOL!
Because we just don't hear enough opinions from bubble headed morons these days.
“Support gay marriage. Vote for my Dad!”
where’d she crawl back out of?
I have an off button on the remote for when she appears.
What Fox needed a bimbo weather girl?
HA!
Stopped watching fox years ago. fox news is just another version of official state media propaganda.
McCain’s daughter is just the latest bit of evidence in the propaganda quid pro quo of today’s official state mouthpieces.
May the future civilization of humanity look back at the depraved manipulations of the elites of today with the scrutiny that “journalists” today severely lack.
